Food in Literature <\/strong><\/p>\n

Our contemporary time-saving lifestyles reflect food culture in urban spaces; for example, from supermarkets flooded with convenience foods, the sharp rise in fast food and takeaway consumption, to the thriving segment of food delivery by low-paid labourers trudging through the streets on bicycles with food in their backpacks.<\/p>\n

In literature preparing and feasting on food and drink is worth its time – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. It plays centre stage when conjuring great scenes. It also sets the reader’s mind in an evocative mood. Food in Literature depicts time-consuming moments well-spent on sheer divine insights on subject, social structures and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

We will discuss a selection of literary scenes and reflect on our relationship to food culture in our discussion rounds on the topic of „Food in Literature“. We look forward to your participation!<\/p>\n

We will discuss this and more in our conversation rounds in English with our English Teacher\/Lecturer Michelle Krapf-Bangera on:<\/strong><\/p>\n
